JQuery.getJSON malformed url

Description
When you try to pass an array of elements as the getJSON's data, the url is malformed and the get request fails with a 404 error.
In JQuery 1.3.2 you were able to do things like:
a= ['n1','n2','n3'];
$.getJSON('/some/url/here/', {'e': a}, function(json){...});
And the wellformed url is:
/some/url/here/?e=n1&e=n2&e=n3
Which worked very well with me, but now, in JQuery 1.4.1, the url is malformed this way:
/some/url/here/?e[]=n1&e[]=n2&e[]=n3
Which result in the error expleined above.
This might need some revision to resolve this issue.

This causes jQuery to be broken by default for anyone not using something which adopts the Rails/PHP-style convention (as evidenced by the fact that we just spent some time tracking down why this was breaking jQuery interactions with a Django application), and so is a bug.
The right thing to do is encode normally by default, and let people whose tools require weird contortions turn those contortions on as needed. Or, if your position is that jQuery should only work by default for people using Rails or PHP, the documentation for that ought to be clear and up-front.

Given that we've already stated the behavior here is something which has been documented and we're explicitly asking developers to follow those guidelines, I think that John's original resolution should still stand. Closing for now.
You'll need to set the traditional flag to true, as documented in the API docs:
